Does anyone ever remember feeling this bad about a President this soon in his term? Even Jimmy Carter was still promising some good things he could do in year one. Barak Obama has become a negative influence in all areas all at once, or we suddenly see straight all at once. Where is the Reset Button for the voters? In 2010 the House is up for a new vote along with a third of the Senate.

Even Jimmy Carter was still promising some good things he could do in year one.

I don't remember whether I voted for Jimmy the first time or not. Likely I did. I was an Army Officer by then, but more liberal than I am now. Ford seemed a caretaker over his head. Carter was a Southern Technocrat, conservative, former nuke Navy Officer, and Governor. Seemed grounded and competent.

Another thing that has to be kept in mind is that Nancy Pelosi really has traded the political careers for many of those Blue Dog Democrats for this run for liberal wishlists.

We keep hearing from major Democratic operatives that the Republican Party is dead. That is a bit suspicious, since just 4 years ago, the Republicans held the two elected branches of government, as the Democrats do now.

A lot of pro-life pro-gun moderate Democrats were recruited to run in 2006 and, in particular, 2008. And it worked, with the Democrats picking up a lot of House seats and an almost unfillibuster proof majority in the Senate.

BUT those seats were held by Republicans 4 years ago. Many of them went for McCain, and almost all of those formerly Republican districts went for Bush in 2004. And that is where Pelosi's majority came from.

A lot of these 1st and 2nd term Democrats were already liable to lose in 2010. And, the 2nd year of any term is almost always less productive, with much of Congress starting to run for office again.

So, Pelosi, Reid, and Obama have one year to enact all of their liberal wish list. Now they have doubled down, because they pretty much know they won't have the House in 2010, given the votes forced on all those moderate Democrats, AND the level of corruption there.

This year is the Democrats once in a generation (or two) chance to enact as much of their agenda as they can.
